Later in the first half, Raptors guard Kyle Lowry was given a flagrant foul after appearing to hit Wizards guard Bradley Beal on the head while going for a block. Beal got up quickly after the initial contact and angrily ran over to the referee, but nothing appeared to come from that.

When all was said and done, Beal, John Wall and Serge Ibaka all received technical fouls.

A couple questions remain after this incident:

Should Jonas Valanciunas have been given a foul for playing keepaway from Beal? What did Wall say to Ibaka in the scrum that caused the big man to react like that?

In the end, the Wizards turned the skirmish to their advantage and rattled off an 8-0 run shortly thereafter. They ended the third quarter leading by 19 points - a lead they carried until the final buzzer for a 122-103 victory.

There was a lot of talk after the game about the bad blood.

Wizards guard Kelly Oubre Jr. praised Morris for his toughness.

Kelly Oubre Jr. credited Markieff Morris for setting the tone in the game during that shoving match.
Oubre: "OG didn't read the scouting report. He didn't know Keef is one of the people you don't mess with in the world."

More from Wall: "It's the playoffs. We're down 2-0. We're just being aggressive. We know ain't nobody out there trying to fight or going to fight anybody. But if my teammates get into anything, I'm trying to back those guys up and play a physical, aggressive game."

Raptors guard Delon Wright said the chippiness is part of what playoff basketball is all about - as did Beal.

Delon Wright: "I mean, everybody's competitive, so sometimes guys are talking and it gets a little chippy or whatever. We just have to do a better job of realizing they're probably trying to get us off our game and stay focused, not let them get to us."
